Lauren Bacall's NYC Apartment To Sell for $25 Million

The late actress purchased the apartment in the famed Dakota Building in 1961.

Lauren Bacall's NYC apartment in the Dakota Building on the Upper West Side will hit the market at the end of November for $25 million, The Real Dealreports. The actress died in August at the age of 89.

The sultry starlet bought the apartment in 1961 for $48,000 while married to actor Jason Robards. Although they divorced eight years later, Bacall—born Betty Perske—lived in the apartment on West 72nd Street for her remaining years. Its size, location, and floor are still unknown, but the historical Dakota Building is one of the most exclusive in Manhattan, the former home of stars such as Judy Holliday and John Lennon. According to The Real Deal, Bacall's "grand" apartment faces Central Park and features seven fireplaces.

Later this month, and again March, Bacall's artwork and furnishings with be auctioned off by New York City auction house Bonhams. The Bacall Collection's estimated worth is $3 million.

Bacall graced the cover of Harper's BAZAAR in March of 1943, a coup that ultimately launched her successful career. Lauren Bacall said the cover was "the twist of fate that changed my life forever."
